This is among the most poorly designed eating implements to be made. Its too short at full length to reach into freeze dried food bags without getting your hand messy. It did get food to my face, even after it snapped in the middle, leaving me with even shorter utensils. The design is rounded out by the serrated knife edge on the fork tine, which means you need to be careful not to saw your mouth when using the fork. Sheer brilliance.
